@GovLarryHogan What you're doing will hurt tens of thousands of Marylanders & it's Federal money. Show some compassion & help the state beat this pandemic, without hurting people unnecessarily who have already suffered, as we all have.

Spring cleaning prayer pt 1: Lord, give me the strength to sort through the collection of unopened, expired vitamins; the courage to throw away the ones that are "really" expired; & the wisdom to know the difference.

@chrissgardner That should be called "An Ode to Isaac Hayes," as it's giving me Black Moses vibes!

Okayyyyy, ladies and gentlemen...LaKeith Stanfield in custom Saint Laurent by Anthony Vaccarello (!!!!). THE BEST. #Oscars

Nothing like getting an inexplicable ear infection & having to have your husband put drops in your ear to make you feel like a kid again. Me: The drops are chilly in my ear! Him: No, point your ear up to the sky.

This Game Stop thing isn't a David & Goliath tale. It's actually some young assholes messing up people's retirement plans.

@StarJonesEsq That one hurts deep. Thankful for her life.

When your heart is broken, sometimes all you can do is say Thank You for your example… Rest well Miss Tyson, you will always be our Queen...

Even though she lived to 96, #CicelyTyson passing hurt different. Some things you can't explain, but that woman was up there with Toni, Maya, & Octavia Butler as my personal heroes & the epitome of Black excellence. Rest in the paradise you earned & deserve, Ms. Tyson.

Really old hot take, but I always thought Game of Thrones ended exactly how it should have, & it's always been strange to me that people expected a happy ending on a show that really never had any.

My "spider sense" is realizing it's been a while since I've seen one so being on high alert that I will see one soon. It's frighteningly accurate & tingling now.

Time to test my marriage by attempting a DIY bathroom remodel! Have to start the plans for this before our attempt at a kitchen remodel that's seven months in is complete, because we're stupid.

It's been a nice few days of "let's read the news," rather than "let's see what terrible things have occurred to shake me to my core since last I checked with trembling hands."

@MasterTarantino @charles_kinbote This is really true (for me) for Black characters, who speak differently for non-Black people in & out of their generations & Black people in & out of their generations. It's a real dance that hits close to home, as I knew those people when I was a kid & I understand it.

@MasterTarantino @charles_kinbote While not my go-to, whenever I watch it I'm reminded by how effective it is at showing older people without screaming "This is about older people!!! Give me praise!!!" As always, I love the dialogue: the way all the characters speak--across races & generations--is so right.

PTA on Quentin Tarantino's Jackie Brown

One of my dogs slaps my husband at least once per day. He does not like being baby-talked. I still don't know if other dogs do this, but Leo lifts his paw in warning & if you keep up, you're getting slapped. Not hard, but enough to know he's not taking your mess.

@hohnjolland I had to paint my front door after seeing some photos of it during the pandemic. I didn't even realize it was out here looking trifling, lol.

Laughing at the delivery photo for my package because its blurry as hell which means the delivery person was in mid-sprint away from my door when they took it.

@lnbshr This actually killed me.

dani leigh nipples is pink i really need her to keep her mouth shut

Barack lookin like “Yeah you see it. That’s all me.”

That was an amazing inauguration show. Somewhere in the middle I realized my butthole loosened up after ~five years of clenching.

@LanceHill2011 @MrGRichardson @princesshoped @drizzy9109 @CandieIsTheName It hurts how honest that is. His instincts knew theirs.

some of my favorite photos of our civil rights leaders that aren’t them organizing, marching or giving a speech. rosa parks getting her hair done. mlk swimming in jamaica. malcolm x during a trip to ghana. angela davis with léila gonzalez.
